Despite the ecclesiastical name of the listed artist and the slightly new-age-type disc title, it wasn't immediately clear to me that this was a Christmas record at first, so I thought I'd share a quick impression for others who may be interested in it.

All is calm, and all is pretty bright here, with upbeat rock/pop arrangements of popular standard holiday tunes as listed below. So what's unique? What's different? I think things come midnight-clear with a listen to Track 11, "The Christmas Drone": this is a Holiday Didgeridoo record! Now how many of those have you ever heard? The drone-y didg is a bit hidden in many of the tracks, but by gum, it's there.

Pleasant, completely non-toxic music for the didgeridoo-loving, Chistmas-carol-singalong enjoying fan. Now you know.
